130,90 € VAT included
Soto Marañón Carrasqueño is a 100% Carrasqueño extra virgin olive oil, an uncommon variety from Jaén, with aromas of freshly cut grass and green banana. Its production of only about 1000 bottles makes it very exclusive. Box of six 500 ml bottles.
Soto Marañón Carrasqueño is one of those oils rarely found: a single-variety extra virgin olive oil from Carrasqueño, a minority variety from Jaén, made in a run of only about 1000 bottles.
This box holds six 500 ml bottles, a good share of a very limited production.

Tasting Soto Marañón Carrasqueño
Tasting Soto Marañón Carrasqueño reveals freshly cut grass, green banana and an overall sense of freshness, that of an oil made from olives at just the right point.
It is a green, clean profile that introduces a variety rarely bottled on its own, one that many enthusiasts have never tried and that rewards slow, attentive tasting.
A minority variety
Carrasqueño is one of the local varieties that survive in some Jaén groves alongside the ever-present Picual. It is grown on a small scale, so its single-variety oils are scarce.
Soto Marañón has chosen to bottle this olive separately, in a production so short that each season yields barely a thousand bottles.
How to enjoy Soto Marañón Carrasqueño
- Freshly baked bread.
- Green leaf salads.
- White fish.
- Grilled vegetables.
- Fresh cheeses.
Being such a scarce oil, it is best enjoyed raw, with simple dishes that let the oil speak. A tasting with white bread is the best way to get to know it properly.
Tasting an oil from a minority variety is also a way of discovering the diversity of Spanish olive growing, which goes far beyond the best-known varieties. Served alongside a Picual or an Arbequina in a small home tasting, it shows how aroma and flavour change from one olive to another, and why each variety deserves its own place at the table.
Six bottles from a limited run
With a production of about 1000 bottles, this box of six is a way to secure this oil for the whole season, or to give it to someone who appreciates singular oils.
The bottles keep best in a cool, dark place, opened one at a time so the others keep their freshness.
